MICRO 4/3 CAMERAS with any lens fitted

[jakeblu]

A few from some holiday days out ...

A Sea Lion at the Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay:



A couple of Eagle shots at the same zoo, pleased with these considering the state of the fencing I had to shoot through:





This one is from a river boat cruise up the River Dee in Chester, camera was in aperture priority as I was shooting scenery mostly, just caught a glimpse of this Cormorant and almost binned it as shutter was 1/80th and it's obviously very blurred, but cropped the image and tweaked the colours somewhat and kinda like the outcome:

The jumping sea lion is pretty amazing

@Petrochemist some good stuff there, the Jaguar hood ornament is pretty cool.

You've quite an array of cameras, every time I click through to Flickr it seems you've used a different one .

Thanks, I was glad I had the masks with me, the lens has no aperture & midsummer @ f/1.2 was more light than the camera could cope with.

I do have a few cameras but only 3 that I use regularly at the moment (Pentax K5ii, Panasonic G5 & 'full spectrum' converted GF2).
The K100d, K7 have been pretty much retired, & the G1 has been donated to my daughter.
The sigma SD14, Sony V1, USB microscopes, etc have always been lightly used novelties to get variant shots not practical with other cameras (not all of them have made it to Flickr)
Sadly the 5x4, ancient medium formats & SLRs don't seem to be getting any use, as a chemist I ought to be doing some film shots!.

Unlike some photographers, I'm not constantly upgrading to the newest model, Ignoring novelties & film cameras I've had mine for over 4 years & brought them used. Many peoples most regular upgrade (a camera phone) I only have because my wife gave me her old one

Em10ii 12-40 @ 40mm, 60 seconds exposure

 

[jakeblu]

Lovely LE shot, I like how most of the wheels are hidden, makes it a little mysterious.

Which ND filter did you use?

 

[popcorn]

Thanks. That’s with the SRB elite system 10 stopper (I have a formatt hitec version too) plus a formatt85 ND grad on there too

I tried shooting through the viewfinder of a vintage camera to give a period feel to one of the historic racing cars at Brands Hatch today


Certainly not as clear as the native lens shots, and not an arrangement to follow the cars on the track .
The car is a 1974 MK1 Escort RS2000 celebrating The Escort's 50th anniversary this year _ I think the camera a Kodak Duaflex is around 20 years older.
Hopefully it will be drier tomorrow & I'll manage some better shots.

And a few of the normal shots (starting with the same car):

Thanks, did you mean Pro-capture if so yes, you dont pre-focus for it you just use it as normal with C-AF.
